Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
The Daily Mirror (I know) say Liverpool and Manchester United are ready to fight over his signature, and for upwards of £25m.
I'm still astounded that we could be selling a player for that much money.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
If we are talking about £25m in May, we will be talking about £35m in July.
Keep them talking, keep pushing Burnley - we will be able to get a good auction going very easily here.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
I would be very disappointed if we got anything less than £35m for him personally considering where the market is and the fact that there are several clubs supposedly after him rather than the one club that chased the lesser (IMO) Stones.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
It would be beneficial to us to get a bit of an auction going over him. If we could get Liverpool, Everton, and Man Utd sniffing 'round him, we could make an absolute mint from this.

Can only see him going to utd if they really want him. After all they're gonna save 25% or whatever and that's gonna translate to about 7m quid.
It's definitely in their court

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
I reckon Dyches hints at keeping him are kidology, a good way of pushing up the price.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
We're definitely in a position where we don't have to sell to a low-ball offer, like we have been in the past. We can't allow his contract to expire, but we still don't have to be bummed, sans butter, like we would have been in the past.boiledclaret wrote:I reckon Dyches hints at keeping him are kidology, a good way of pushing up the price.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
I don't think £25 million is that much for a young England international. Not in today's world.
I'd expect more like, "Starting off at £25 million".

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
I don't personally think its beyond the bounds of possibility that Keane will stay. The lads level headed and needs to listen to the likes of Dyche. I would be staggered if he chose Liverpool knowing his United connection and support for the club. That said if he went to United I can't see him being anything but a bench warmer and thats something the lad doesn't need at this stage in his development.boiledclaret wrote: reckon Dyches hints at keeping him are kidology, a good way of pushing up the pric

If you want some entertainment, have a look at what the Liverpool fans are saying about Keane on twitter, they're not happy (as always, twitter seems to have the more "eccentric" viewpoints, Liverpool fans I've talked to seem quite happy with signing Keane)

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
Spot on Lord Beamish we are in a strong position not to give away our stars nowadays.
Michael Keane has it in him to be a future England captain.Unsurprisingly Man U coaches compared him to the late great Duncan Edwards.It was our good fortune LVG for some reason didn't rate him
Man U would be his best destination as he will be starting every game as the dross they have in defence Bailly excepted makes him the best cb they'd have
It needs to be North of £40m as they will still want their sell on money.

We don't have to sell but the price will eventually collapse, as we get well into next season.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
30 m plus a player in our direction would be nice. The market shifted massively last summer so these are the going rates for these players. Exactly why we should look abroad or in lower leagues for talent. Let someone else pay the massive transfer fees and wages.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
From what I've read Utd is his dream move.
Any auction helps as he is under contract but it's Keane who signs the papers and chooses his own career path.
With Utds discount I'd hope we can get them over £35m and leave us with a very nice net profit.
Still hope he stays but unlikely.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
He'd never been a full international before either but he is now. I wouldn't be surprised if he went on to become captain one day.
Starting price = £30 million in real terms so if Utd are interested, the figure needs to raised by however many percent.

Certainly not for a defender which a club can get ten full years out of at the top. I wouldn't be gutted at 25mil though given how little we paid for him. But I think we'll get more.FactualFrank wrote:I don't think £25 million is that much for a young England international. Not in today's world.

then someone on here will say, "my neighbours dog's fish said we only got 25 million for him"
then CT will neither confirm or deny

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
Comparison to John Stones is the benchmark for me and I think Keane is technically Stones's equal, hard to gauge for Burnley but became apparent when you watched Keane for England.
Stones has played with better players around him for Everton and Man City.
The key point is the physicality kKeane is stronger and faster and better balanced.
50 mil for starters imo

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
price depends if goes to MU and they waive there mark up, versus any other team, 20 to MU is more than 25 to others I believe

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
If he goes to United does not the fee need to be announced on the stock exchange? As they are a listed company.
Also if we get anywhere near 25 million i would be amazed considering our past in selling players on the cheap.
Keane's preferred choice is Man Utd so how would there be a bidding war? It just comes down to good negotiations or bullshitting the buyer.
In the past we have been to honest and straight forward in our dealings especially selling players, other clubs shall i say have not.
If Keane was at another club but Burnley, i would expect the bids to start at 30 million plus. But alas i can see us losing out a little on the fee.

I'd love to know who you think we've sold on the cheap.

I have my share of things i think the club could have done better over the years - although that is itself a shortening list these days - but our approach to selling players is definitely bit on the list, and never really has been.
If Keane goes this summer, we'll get good money for him.

Re: Bidding war for £25m-rated Michael Keane
From his point of view, it must be brilliant to go back to United. His boyhood club. They're crying out for a centre half and he's better than Smalling and Jones. He and Bailly could compete with any centre half pairing around. I'd be a little disappointed if he went elsewhere to be honest.
